She said: “I am still a normal girl who enjoys socialising and going out. And at some point during the night, there is always a tipsy debate or two about politics.

“After heated discussions about the future of our country, we usually then head to the bar for the next round.”

“No matter who they support, all young people should take an interest in politics as this is our chance to have a say about how Scotland and the UK are run.”

Her mum Julie, 51, an admin worker and dad Jim, 52, a transport manager, are both supporters of Scottish independence.

Meghan’s interest in politics is down to the influence of her late grandfather.

She said: “Like many, I live with my parents in a politically divided house.

“We debate different issues all the time and the Scottish referendum is a particular sticky point at the moment.

“But my interest in politics began when I was five and my grandparents would babysit me during the summer holidays. My gran Elizabeth is 65 and still a member of the Tory party.

“And before he passed away in 2008, my grandad James was too.

“Some of my earliest memories are of sitting with my grandad to play chess and he would tell me all about the Tories and then we’d watch Countdown.

“Even now, I like a night off sitting on the couch in my onesie watching Countdown and Question Time.

“I suppose being a five-year-old around that much political talk, I didn’t stand a chance of being anything but a political buff myself.”

Meghan is involved in the Better Together campaign as she believes Scotland can’t afford to go it alone.

She said: “I think our businesses would suffer and I don’t believe we could sustain a currency without the pound. I think the statistics used by the Yes campaign are more of what could happen than based on facts.

“It’s scary to go into the unknown and it doesn’t seem to have been very well thought out.

“We have fought and lived together for hundreds of years and I think if it’s not broke don’t fix it.”

Rising star Meghan was chosen to compere a speech by former first minister Jack McConnell at a Better Together event earlier this month.

She branded nationalism a “Dickensian” idea and observers said she stole the show. But modest Meghan shrugs off the praise.

She said: “I met Lord Jack McConnell and it’s amazing that young people are having their voices heard on such an important issue.”

Meghan has rubbed shoulders with political heavyweights such as David Cameron and Ruth Davidson but it’s London Mayor Boris who sets her pulse racing.

Meghan wants David Cameron's job

She said: “I’ve attended Tory party conferences and posed for a photo with the Prime Minister, which I immediately uploaded to Facebook.

“David Cameron came to speak to me and said it was really great that young people were interested and involved in the party.

“I’ve sat down to dinner with the Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson and she is my ultimate idol.

“The very fact Ruth is so young and comes from a similar background to me shows me that both women and young people can be successful in politics.

“But my all-time favourite is Boris.When people ask me why, I tell them it has to be that hair.

“He is portrayed as the poster boy for the Conservative Party and I just adore him.

“Boris really is unique and does not conform to the stereotypical image people have of a Tory politician. I can relate to that as I’m often told I don’t fit the bill of a typical Tory.

“When I’ve been out canvassing for the party, I’ve had people ask me if I’m even old enough to vote never mind join a party.

“Boris really represents the new wave of the Conservatives for me.

“And given the opportunity of a date with Boris, I’d definitely opt for something fun like ice skating so we could skate round while I ask exactly what shampoo he uses for such perfect hair.”
